Chapter 905 – The Appropriation (above)
Chapter 905: Responding to the Tribulation (above)
Due to the devilish qi and yuan qi in her body flowing out all the time, Xu Chuniang’s cultivation fell below the Transitional Catastrophe Stage after a month and returned to the Harmonization Stage.
As time passed, the devil qi and yuan qi in her body flowed out faster and faster.
Xu Chuniang’s cultivation dropped again and again, falling from the Harmonization Stage to the early Harmonization Spirit stage before it finally stabilized and stopped falling.
However, on the second day after her cultivation stabilized, the demonic body suddenly realized that this strong demonic body of hers was showing signs of decay.
The original tight and powerful skin had inexplicably become loose, growing tiny lines, and even its strength had weakened a lot.
It seemed that the second calamity she had to face was a decay calamity.
Old age, sickness and death are the destiny of living beings.
And the purpose of cultivation is to jump out of the five elements and three realms, to increase life and longevity.
Originally, according to common sense, Xu Chuniang still had plenty of longevity, and it was impossible for her to experience the calamity of aging so soon.
But at the stage of the Transition, anything was possible.
And this time, in addition to the demonic body that experienced the aging tribulation, the main body was not spared either.
After the decay tribulation descended, the main body and the demonic body rapidly aged.
Even the powerful body grew weaker with each passing day as the degree of aging increased.
Nowadays, Xu Chuniang’s cultivation was barely maintained at the early stage of the Transformation of God, and her strong body after obtaining all kinds of creations was also getting weaker by the day.
In just thirty days, however, her appearance had undergone a drastic change, from a cultivator in the prime of her life to an old woman with gray hair.
If this current image of hers was seen by the Scorpion Woman, I’m afraid she would say nothing to believe that the old woman in front of her was the same person as the Lord Xu in her mind.
After becoming an old woman, Xu Chuniang’s body no longer aged.
However, at this point, her body was like a candle flame that was about to go out, doing everything with half the effort, and she was also very prone to injuries.
Even though Xu Chuniang’s mind was firm, a trace of unprecedented fatigue rose in her heart.
Her divine soul was trapped in this old and weakened body, as if it had aged along with her body.
Thinking back to her encounters all the way from the mortal world where she stepped into the Immortal Sect, then ascended to the Spirit Realm, and then fell to the Demon Realm, it was just too tiring.
After so many years of hard cultivation, countless times of being born into death and narrowly escaping death.
Fighting with people, fighting with demons, fighting with cultivators of other races, fighting with heaven and earth, the days and nights were endless.
In the end, nearly a thousand years of hard cultivation, or can not escape this such as destiny reincarnation ……
Thinking of this, Xu Chuniang snapped back to her senses, realizing that without her knowledge, the third calamity had already descended.
This calamity, eight out of ten, was an intention calamity, capable of shaking her will without her realizing it.
She took a deep breath and eased her mind, lifting her spirit to stand by.
The forty-nine tribulations of the Transition Stage were divided into seven rounds, and each round would experience seven different tribulations.
As long as she answered all five of the tribulations in the first round, her body and cultivation would return to normal.
A look of contemplation flashed in Xu Chuniang’s eyes, she had initially thought that the demonic body and the main body shared a single body without the divine soul being melded, and that she would be able to disperse the tribulations.
But in fact, the Decay Tribulation and Intent Tribulation that followed the first tribulation, both the main body and the demonic body had responded to the tribulation and were severely affected.
It seemed that the reason why the first tribulation had spared the body was because the current body was an empty shell with no cultivation, so it had not been able to respond to the tribulation.
Drilling into the Heavenly Dao’s loophole had failed.
After figuring this out, Xu Chuniang wasn’t disappointed, but instead had a feeling that this was indeed the case.
The laws of the Heavenly Dao were very perfect, and it was almost impossible for such a big mistake to occur. Recalling the three tribulations she had experienced after entering the Transition stage, she roughly understood that the difficulty of the seven tribulations in each round was slowly increasing.
After the first calamity, her cultivation had regressed severely, leaving her at the early stage of Transformation God, yet she was barely able to gain a foothold in the Spirit Realm.
The Decay Tribulation, on the other hand, further weakened her strength on top of the first tribulation, causing her body to weaken and become weak.
The timing of the Intentional Tribulation that came after this was even better.
Over the years, Xu Chuniang had long gotten used to it, with her strong body and profound cultivation.
When she watched herself lose all of this bit by bit and become weak again, it was more or less inevitable that she would give birth to some discrepancies.
And at this time, the intentional calamity took advantage of the situation and indeed shook her will.
However, Xu Chuniang had possessed an exceptional will since she was a child, and quickly realized that something was wrong, thus avoiding being seduced by the intentional robbery.
The Intent Threat was pervasive, trying to break her almost all the time.
But with her defenses in place, Xu Chunniang never wavered an inch.
She had always believed that her immediate predicament was temporary, and that her falling cultivation and aging body were the symbols of her success in the tribulation.
The intentional catastrophe was attempted for a long time, and ultimately ended in the same failure.
Xu Chuniang was not complacent because of this, she had only successfully passed through three robberies, not even half of the first round had been completed, so she could not take it lightly.
Her body was old and withered, and her cultivation had fallen to the lowest level in the demon world, the early stage of Transformation Spirit.
But from her eyes, not a single trace of resentment or anger could be seen, but rather, she accepted everything calmly and quietly.
Under such circumstances, the fourth tribulation, descended silently.
One day, Xu Chuniang’s eyes suddenly went black, and from then on, only darkness remained in her world.
She went blind.
No, it wasn’t just blindness, she listened quietly for a while and realized that she couldn’t hear anything.
Even her divine sense, as if frozen, could not be utilized.
Xu Chuniang was secretly glad that, fortunately, when she had initially still had her cultivation, she had expended her efforts to set up the formations in the mansion for safety’s sake, and had also invested in quite a few Law Gray Spheres.
Even if the Yellow Sand Demon King himself had arrived, it would have been a death sentence to come.
Moreover, before formally closing the door to cross the threshold, she casually killed quite a few cultivators at the Refined Void stage and threw them to the Scorpion Woman.
The corpses of those cultivators were enough for her to cultivate to the late Refined Void stage.
These thoughts flashed through Xu Chuniang’s mind before she fell silent.
So what if her divine sense was restricted, her eyes couldn’t see and her ears couldn’t hear, anyway, she knew in her heart that the place where she was in seclusion was very safe.
These tribulations could endlessly weaken her, but they could not directly kill her!
Everything that couldn’t kill her would only make her stronger!
Xu Chuniang was like an old monk in meditation, letting her consciousness drift and sink in solitude, and in this moment, time also seemed to have stopped.
The unspeakable loneliness was gnawing at her, but she had long been accustomed to traveling alone, and this loneliness couldn’t hurt her in the slightest.
This kind of long loneliness, lasted for a long time.
Until one day, Xu Chuniang suddenly realized that her divine sense could move, she tried to explore her divine sense, and found herself in the middle of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
She was slightly stunned, and then reacted, she had been in the midst of the calamity for far too long, long enough for Huangsha City to once again see battle.
This time, Yellow Sand City had lost.
